This book is a forgery
Swiss researcher Wolfgang Hänel declared in 1983, that »Gespräche mit Hitler« (the German title of The »Voice of Destruction« ) was a fraud and that the book has no value "except as a document of Allied war propaganda" and concluded that:
* Rauschning's claim to have met with Hitler "more than a hundred times" was a lie
* that the two actually met only four times, and never alone
* words attributed to Hitler were simply invented or plagiarized from many different sources, including the writings of Ernst Jünger and Friedrich Nietzsche
* the account of Hitler hearing voices, waking at night with convulsive shrieks and pointing in terror at an empty corner while shouting "There, there, in the corner!" was taken from a short story by French writer Guy de Maupassant (Le Horla).
